Description: | Sword (scimitar) with a heavy T-sectioned blade with a backward curve (probably European made). The blade is cracked. The tip is thin, pointed and double-edged. Near the hilt on the right hand side, there are six circular punch marks arranged in a hexagonal pattern. The hilt is iron, the langues pointed, the quillions thick and short with a disc pommel. An iron finger guard is attached to one of the quillions and rises to near the pommel. The rivet fastening the hilt to the blade has a star-shaped white metal washer, one on each side. | Source: | Manchester Museum | Identifier: | mm.emu.ecatalogue.humanities.160947 | Go to resource |
